Description

In this episode of Becoming UnDone, Toby Brooks reflects on generational differences and stereotypes with his daughter, Brynnan Brooks. They discuss the characteristics and perceptions of their respective generations, Generation X and Generation Z. Toby shares his experience as a Gen Xer, feeling like the overlooked middle child and the resilience that comes from being part of the forgotten generation. Brynnan discusses the open-mindedness and inclusivity of her generation, as well as the challenges they face with mental health. They explore the pros and cons of each generation and the importance of intergenerational friendships and understanding.

Key Takeaways:

1. Generational stereotypes can influence outlooks and behaviors.
2. Gen Xers often feel overlooked and develop resilience from their experiences.
3. Gen Z is open-minded and inclusive, but can sometimes struggle with mental health issues.
4. Work ethic is a strength of Gen X, but it can also lead to a focus on goals over the journey.
5. Building intergenerational friendships can help bridge the gap between generations.
